Long time OzBargainer first time poster.

Possibly as part of their Black Friday Sale but via the Amazon Digital store you can buy GTA V for around $20 cheaper than anywhere else I have seen - $33.99 so just over 37AUD

YOU WILL NEED A USA PSN ACCOUNT - DIGITAL DOWNLOAD ONLY

My Delivery address was in USA but code sent via email & I used an Oz AMEX card so that may have helped.

Don't forget the free handbook App posted elsewhere on this site!

    Thanks.
    Can the PS3 be switched back and forth from an Australian PSN account to US account easily?
    How big is the download?

    • fsckoff on 28/11/2013 - 14:22

      If it's still the same as when I owned a PS3 it's just a case of creating a new user for the 2nd PSN account.

    • EggMan28 on 28/11/2013 - 14:27

      I've been able to log out between accounts without issues. Haven't bought anything with my US account though but this is tempting at 70% off AU price - 17GB - https://store.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com/#!/en-au/games/gr…
      Am wondering if the previously reported issues with digital version have been resolved now.

      • algy on 28/11/2013 - 15:28

        There are still issues with invisible objects

      • congo on 28/11/2013 - 17:18

        Thanks.

  • HungSkiii on 28/11/2013 - 14:22

    If I get this I have to make a new US account?
    If so can I still play online with my friends in Australia?
    Edit: Also say I activate the game and download it with the US psn, will it appear when i Login to the Australian account

    • wonderboy on 28/11/2013 - 14:59

      Make US account to download game then switch back to AU account to play. You need to keep the US account on your PS3

  • AssociatedScallyswag @ Amazon US on 28/11/2013 - 14:32

    Will I be able to download this to a ps4? My ps3s hard drive is choccas.
    Seems advantageous if so..

    • ITF on 28/11/2013 - 14:34

      No, it's a PS3 game

      • AssociatedScallyswag @ Amazon US on 28/11/2013 - 14:41

        What downloadable content can be played on ps4? There were rumors of a ps4 release of gta 5. Will hold off in this version due to digital issues too. Thanks though

  • mdcsooty on 28/11/2013 - 14:33

    I only logged into my US PSN to redeem code and download (17GB) most times my Oz PSN auto logs in

    Game is always there once in HDD

    PS the 24hr wait between registering & posting was a killer - thought someone else would notice!

    • HungSkiii on 28/11/2013 - 14:36

      so does this mean you can play the game online with your australian psn?

      • harrap on 28/11/2013 - 15:05

        yes. download with us account to your machine.
        install and play with aus account

    Be sure to check out this report before jumping on this.

    Just FYI: Not certain the issues remain but there were a few complaints regarding GTA V digital download performance (texture streaming/pop + stuttering).

    EDIT: Someone beat me to it, another source on offer anyway.

  • DanC922 on 28/11/2013 - 15:24

    I've just purchased it, and ran into a bit of trouble. I used my Aussie AMEX and my parents' address in America as the billing address because it wouldn't accept my Aussie address. The purchase took several minutes to process, and I got this:

    Sorry, processing of this order is taking longer than expected
    • This order may take up to 4 hours to process but usually will take less than an hour
    • Please do not re-order this item
    • Once your order is complete, you can download your purchase here. We will also send the download link to your e-mail address
    • For more information, contact us

    We'll see what happens!

    • jcrew on 28/11/2013 - 15:53

      I just purchased it as well with my 28 Degrees card. Didn't run into any issues like this and I am currently downloading it now :)

    • Third_Gear on 28/11/2013 - 16:25

      I had this happen to me before in the past with games via Amazon. Just hold tight and you should be fine. If you go over 4 hrs I'd just contact Amazon via online chat.

    • DanC922 on 28/11/2013 - 17:26

      Got the email from Amazon after about an hour, and it worked out fine. Settling in for a 7 hour download now.

  • blazeninja on 28/11/2013 - 15:26

    Sony making digital PSN codes available on PSN is one of its best moves in a while. Its unfortunate that online play is behind a paywall; if it weren't the PS4 would be one of the most open mainstream console platforms

    • leonheart1 on 28/11/2013 - 21:05

      online play is behind a paywall

      When I heard it was going to have micro transactions I'd knew this would be the case. How bad is it though?

  • Jules66 on 28/11/2013 - 16:15

    Cheers for the deal. I just purchased it with my 28 degrees card as well.

  • Caped Baldy on 28/11/2013 - 17:29

    can anyone that has bought confirm that GTA online works with this method?

    • lawesomes on 29/11/2013 - 09:37

      Confirmed. Downloaded via US PSN. Playing on AU PSN

  • giu on 28/11/2013 - 22:58

    I am assuming COD Ghosts will work in the same way?

    • mdcsooty on 29/11/2013 - 08:13

      I bought Personna 2 as well so presume anything from the Digital Sale link lower down on my initial post

  • AaronR on 29/11/2013 - 10:58

    Price went up to $39.99?

    • mdcsooty on 29/11/2013 - 11:04

      Yes it did, must be the traffic :-), still a good deal though

      • AaronR on 29/11/2013 - 13:43

        I ordered anyway and my account got frozen. I checked with Live Chat and they said I need to verify some details and will unlock my account in 24 hours. I've purchased digital items before using this exact Amex but I did change my delivery address. Used to be a Pizza Hut in AZ and I switched to a Pizza Hut in DE for the no-tax benefit. Probably caused the red flag.

  • bansid on 29/11/2013 - 13:46

    I just bought myself post xmas presents :)

    GTA 5

    BF4

    AC4
